Have a friend who is moving across the country for work, and has a going away party this weekend. I would certainly call her a foodie; maybe more upscale focused than chowhound-y. Any thoughts on an LA food-themed going away gift?

Hot sauce from Chichen Itza

Yah, I was thinking something like that too - mole, hot sauces, a quintessential L.A. food book. More to pack but oh well…

Cool, maybe a cookbook from one of her favorite restaurants. Although a t-shirt or apron are more travel friendly, lol.
Okay, I’ll just keep checking this post because you’re just getting started.
